Visual Studio Profiler API Reference (Native)

Note

This article applies to Visual Studio 2015. If you're looking for the latest Visual Studio documentation, see Visual Studio documentation. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of Visual Studio. Download it here

Visual Studio Profiler APIs allow you to programmatically control the amount of data collected, and insert both timestamp and profile marks during profiling. To use native APIs, you include VSPerf.h header file and add the VSPerf.lib in your project.

Note

By default, VSPerf.h and VSPerf.lib are located in <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Team Tools\Performance Tools\PerfSDK directory.
